This factsheet outlines IFAD’s work in Yemen, including context, strategy and ongoing operations.

IFAD addresses the urgent need to fill the country’s gap in medium-term development assistance. In a context where humanitarian aid flows dominate, it is critical to respond to this need. This strategic re-engagement aims to build resilience among rural communities grappling with the multifaceted crises of conflict, food insecurity and climate challenges.

IFAD’s approach focuses on restoring agricultural livelihoods, enhancing food security and supporting the recovery of Yemen’s agricultural production capacity, with an emphasis on building long-term resilience rather than short-term relief.
